Talk:Brunton compass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article really belongs at Geological compass, and Brunton compasses mentioned within it, since it's only one of two types of compasses used in geology (Clar-type being the other).

[edit] re:

I think the Brunton compass is used by more than geologists. jag 29Sep06

Jag, you are correct. The Brunton Pocket Transit is used by just about anybody who has a need for a small form-factor device that can do basic rough surveying tasks. Professionally this includes geologists, but also archaeologists, paleontologists, surveyors, mining engineers, etc. It was developed as a mining instrument. Wjhudson 18:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
